mercer transportation

well I made it to mercertown for my 6 month inspection, got to replace one tail light lens that apparently isn't the right color, and replace the dreaded quick release air valve by the catwalk. not bad at all really. got away light this time, lol.

got to replace valve in the morning, couldn't get a van to get the part today. so I am camping at mercertown.

apparently some Schneider guys have decided the choice program aint to choice

 

I am due for my inspection also but waiting for it to run into first of next month, that way I gain a month.
Is that cheating?

 

I use to run my own authority too and I learn quick,done seen I need to keep my eye on the ball,I in Council Bluff now,waiting to pick up a load to Portland but I have figured out that I need to stay in the mid America fleet area

 

only if u get caught

 

I'll be in Louisville Friday evening until Tuesday morning... Anyone going to be there this weekend?

 

don't as of yet, nothing against you but I hope I am gone by then,lol

 

I have no choice... Deliver Tuesday morning 30miles away and I need to pickup my plate, twic and best pass on Monday. I'm sick of having to pull into every scale and show them my temp registration!

However I am going to be rolling through Nashville Friday morning where I'm going to stop and spec a new 8/40 doonan step, which is very exciting

 

What all you gona spec on it?
Container locks?
Chain tie downs? or the sliding removable tie downs over the top?
Can you get built in beacons?

 

Container locks plus another set for a heavy loaded 20'. Sliding chain j hooks, beacons, lift axle, Hendrickson tire pressure kit, 4 boxes and a set of ramps/levelers. Can't forget a few extra lights down the side... A bare boned doonan combo step with two boxes lists at $38k, let's see how high I can get it! You only live once!

 

I can't stand the chain pull outs on mine the slide straps won't slide past them you have to pull them up or reach under the bottom and move the chain over some....I'll never get a trailer with them again!
